Improvement in spoke and felly machines

ABeit knowuthatwe, DAVIDV REED and THOMAS v E.UPIERCE,' of` Sullivan, in the county of` lSullivan -and State" of I ndiana, have`invented certain new and I useful Improvements in` Combined Spoke and Fell'y- I Machines; and we doj hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, `referencebeing had to theaceompanying drawing and to the letters ofreference marked thereon which form a part of` this'speccatiou.'

'. Lhe` `Schedule 'referred to in these Letters Patent: and making parl: of the same.

It is brought back from the wei-k by meansoffni Krepresents the felly-table, onthe side of which is a lever, L, provided with a hinged-hook, b, as shown in iig. 4, for holding the spoke while tenoning.- This lever is tightened and held by the ratchet d. The felIy-table K is supported upon four temperscrews, f f, which passthrough the bench a, and have at their lower ends cranks e e, connected by a plate, h, wherebyall the screws are made 'to move simultaneonsly, so 'as to raise and lower the table level at all,

times. I

' M represents thevhub-table, which is raised and lowered in the sume manner, by means of temperscrews f f',cranks c e', and plate h'.

This table is slotted, as shown in figs. 2 and 3, for 'the adjustment of the center-block N that centers the hub to `suit any sized wheel.

O is a hinged rest to rest the ends of fellies upon when boring long ones. I Having thus fully described our invention,

What we claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is- Y 1. The combination of the screws f f `with cranks c e and plate h, for raising and lowering the felly-tableA K, substantially as herein setforth.

2. The slotted hub-table M, raisedand lowered as described, and provided -with the adjustable center block N, as herein set forth.

In testimony that we claim the foregoing as our own
